Find a good GP and book a pre-conception consult. Come off contraception and check any medications you are on. Optimize your general health including diet, weight, fitness and mental health. Start a prenatal supplement, consider birth options (listen to our podcast Ep Public Vs Private) then if required, check your health insurance. If you are cisfemale and don’t have a male partner, discuss your options with your GP.

When you are trying to conceive (TTC) you want to be in the best shape physically and mentally. You may consider an appointment with our dietician, to learn about the evidence for fertility-friendly foods. Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates can provide tailored exercise for any stage of TTC, including our mellow Pilates class. Psychology is great if you want to be in the best mental headspace. Plus you deserve a massage.
